After forty years in the wilderness, Israel faced one last obstacle — the Jordan River, swollen with the spring harvest floods (Joshua 3:15). The moment the feet of the priests carrying the ark touched the water, God stopped the river's flow. It echoes the parting of the Red Sea forty years earlier, but this time it is Joshua, not Moses, who leads. The leader has changed, but this event makes it unmistakably clear that the same God still leads Israel.
